Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
A call can come in for an unarmed person because they haven't pulled any weapon or they are in their house not holding one but by the time unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls arrive they could have picked up a weapon or could have gotten aggressive because of drugs and now there is nothing that could be done to stop them.
